“Alison is the best! She took extra time to socialize and play with our cats during the week. She sent detailed updates daily along with tons of great pictures. She showed so much care and attentiveness that I will 110% ask her to pet-sit again.”
“Kaleigh cared for my cats when I was away for a week on vacation. This was her second time caring for them. My cats are afraid of everyone but me and usually hide, but they were out interacting, and I know that me being away was a less stressful experience for them since they trusted their sitter. Kaleigh was dependable and communicated well - lots of great pictures and updates too.”
“Shadia was so wonderful with our pets! I am thankful to have found a trustworthy sitter that loves our pets as we do! She went so above and beyond even bring in mail for us and putting out our garbage cans. She is wonderful! Thank you Shadia!”
“Hannah did a great job taking care of my two Maine Coon cats, Rocky and Moose. She sent me informative updates and photos on a daily basis which were much appreciated! Five Stars!!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember—most of them high-energy Beagles—so I know firsthand how much love, patience, and consistency pets need. What sets me apart is not just my experience, but my genuine connection with animals and understanding of their unique personalities and needs. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies to senior dogs needing medication and a gentler routine. I’m confident with leash training, reinforcing basic commands, administering meds, and offering plenty of structured playtime and affection. Whether your pet needs a jogging buddy, a calm companion, or someone to stick to their routine like clockwork, I’m here to help them feel safe, loved, and right at home! My primary job is remote, which allows me the flexibility to work from anywhere. However, I do currently work part-time on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I am typically home by 1:00 PM. In addition, my weekends are completely open and available. I live in a peaceful, low-traffic area with over 20 acres of walking paths and wooded trails—perfect for outdoor exercise and exploration. I also have a wraparound porch with multiple leads for safe and relaxed outdoor time. I have two friendly, playful female dogs of my own, and I’m experienced in managing multi-dog environments. If needed, I’m fully capable of crating or separating pets to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. I’m committed to providing attentive, personalized care and any support your friend may need to feel right at home!

About: My journey as a dog owner, animal shelter volunteer, and animal enthusiast has cultivated a profound devotion to our canine companions. Now, I'm excited to turn that love into exceptional care for your beloved pets as your dedicated sitter. I presently work as a Doggy Daycare Specialist and have experience managing groups of 30+ dogs at a time and ensuring all dogs needs are met. I have experience with dogs of all training levels and have worked with dogs of any age range. As a college student, my weekly schedule can vary, but my commitment to working with animals has consistently provided me with the perfect stress relief. I have access to transportation around the area and love talking long carefree walks. Creating a safe and trusting environment in the comfort of your own home is of the utmost importance. I want to assure you that I will always respect your privacy, ensuring that your cherished space remains a sanctuary for your beloved pets and a place of trust and security. In my past, I worked as doggy daycare attendant where I managed 30+ dogs at a time and have experience with dogs at all skill levels and ages.
